Former Prime Minister David Cameron has splashed out £2million on a holiday home in the village of Trebetherick – less than a mile away from superstar TV chef Gordon Ramsay’s luxury pile in nearby Rock.

The property is just a stone’s throw from Daymer Bay and is said to be a "bucket list" item for the retired politician.

The former Tory leader, 51, is believed to have secured the home in a private sale and was spotted moving items into the property recently.

Mr Cameron and his wife Samantha are familiar with the area, having holidayed on the north coast of Cornwall every summer during his tenure.

One of their children, Florence, was even born in Cornwall during one of the trips.
